Description
Association strength, as measured by free association norms, predicts priming for semantically related items (e.g., CAT-DOG), such that stronger associations result in larger priming effects than weaker associations. Whether association strength also predicts priming for items that are phonologically or orthographically related (form priming; e.g., RAT-HAT, BAT-HAT) has not been examined. Using free association data for formally similar items, we observed distinct priming effects for strong and weak associates as a function of target frequency.
